Aging Montessaurus.
A bad pastor’s wife but a good wife to the pastor (he’s the Matthew 25 kind, not the hateful kind).
Mother to a teacher.
Caregiver to 1 parent with dementia.
I will never post anything hateful.

So…um…while all eyes are constantly on the San Andreas fault line, we’re not paying attention to the fact that the Centerville fault line in SC is waking up.

If you know about history, you’ll know this is the one we should be worried about.

Does no one else think Streets of Minneapolis sounds like a slowed down version of Snoopy vs. the Red Baron?

I will not touch my eyes.

I will NOT touch my eyes.

Just chopped up a poblano pepper and chipotle in adobo sauce.

I WILL NOT touch my eyes.

And yes, I did wash my hands. Over and over again.

My husband has been taking ADHD medication for 2 years now.

He asked me last night if I found it easier to love him on it.

That made me sad.

I knew he had ADHD the day I met him & I knew l loved him from day 1.

The medicine doesn’t change who he is fundamentally.

It just lets him breathe.

I would rather face a hurricane over an ice storm any day.

Today’s anxiety level is HIGH.

These are the days when I wish I wasn’t allergic to SSRIs.

It’s so bad I’m almost willing to suffer through the internal welts.

Le sigh.

My dad left me a framed album cover of Pink Floyd’s “Meddle” that has autographs of 4 Pink Floyd members.

There is an actual album inside the frame (not in the cover). It is supposed to be one of the first pressings of The Wall.

I stare at it everyday and wonder what it’s actually worth.

I’ve been gluten-free for over a month to try to offset neuropathy issues.

I treated myself to a bowl of cereal today (it was made with wheat🤫).

It was glorious!

Do you ever wonder if exhaustion is a state of mind or just a whole damn country in itself?

In Oct., I bought my mom a $4000 hydraulic lift recliner since she struggled to get up out of her old one.

2day she told me she was using her walker to get out of it because she couldn’t stand up.

I asked her if it stopped working.

Even though she was sitting on the remote, she forgot it lifted.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social I’m probably going to miss the AMA tonight but could you please speak about the Doomsday Plane if you do it tonight?

I keep typing and untyping this.

Someone died in front of me yesterday.

It was just so…sudden.

I took 40 mg of prednisone very early in the afternoon (neck compression issue) and thought I would be safe for sleeping tonight.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

I feel like Tigger tossing and turning in bed.

My husband was in seminary when my daughter was born. I worked FT so he took care of her.

He had to take her to class 1 day & the prof had everyone circle their chairs to create a human playpen around her.

We joke to this day that she’s the youngest grad student ever and an expert in Augustine.

My mom has Norovirus.

My daughter and pseudo son-in-law both have the flu.

I have been exposed to all of them while contagious. Although I have been completely masked around my mom.

I am very scared waiting to see what becomes of me.

My daughter thought her new-ish rescue dog would be okay staying alone in my apartment during the Christmas Eve service, but he was not.

And since her boyfriend’s family had decided to attend the service too, I get to stay home with him to enjoy the quiet before the chaos.

Can’t say I mind.

As God is my witness, I will never go to Costco on Dec. 22 again.

I was wearing a poncho that looked like a cape today.

Every time I walked my students outside they would start humming the Imperial Death March.

My dog and I used to fight over my heated blanket every winter.

He was so smart that he could turn it on for himself.

I finally pulled it out today and it still makes me so sad that he’s not here.

How long do we miss our dogs?

ICE has been at my town’s churches today and our church is more than likely their largest.

I’m pretty sure I’ll be paying bail money for my hubby tomorrow.

I’m currently reading “The Paris Bookseller” by Kerri Maher. It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book I didn’t want to put down. I’m just sorry I started reading it the night before I go back to work. I’m going to be so tired tomorrow.

$5.49 for ONE head of cauliflower. What the hell?!?!

I’m supposed to be leaving to spend 3 nights at the beach right now.

Instead I am once again in Urgent Care with my mom.

How does she do that?!?!?

My dad was mean as hell my whole life but everyone outside of the family thought he was great.

As he developed dementia, he would forget so many things, but the targeted meanness stayed until the end.

Trump using the term Piggy wasn’t a mistake. He’s trying to split the news cycle and it worked.
